This phone is such an upgrade from my 3XL. The phone will last all day with it's battery even with my heavy use. The process of the apps and the speed of them are a huge improvement. The camera is also amazing, the magic eraser is one of my top 3 favorite things about this phone.
This is the best pixel phone yet! In fact they are going to have to make major improvements in the next pixel of they went mar to upgrade. The pictures it takes are just fantastic! I totally love this phone.
This is a great phone all around aside from a few key issues. The screen scratches very easily for one. Just from putting it in and out of my pocket it already has a few surface scratches on the screen after only having it a week. Very disappointed in that. The second is the fingerprint scanner isn't great either. I would 100% rather have face unlock over the fingerprint scanner.
I would say the phone seems very good, as many have stated before the finger print scanner is slow, and the likes the previous screen that used to be provided by swiping up better with the most used apps at the bottom. Also, the front facing camera appears to be acting more like a galaxy camera and smoothing things out too much. There should be better switching between the individual cameras, and the stability on videos is lack luster even with the new options. Also, call waiting is great, I wish my phone was still able to produce other sounds while using the feature, it still turns your phone into a paper weight. Also I wish the widgets we're even more customizable and able to shrink more. It is a pretty good phone and looks really cool. Wish she of the details were a little bit more finely tuned. Sometimes I feel like the people making the phones don't use them themselves because I'm sure they would've seen these problems themselves.
I don't like the in-screen fingerprint reader and do miss the headphone jack from the low budget models. Aside from this no complaints. My question is, why wait for a Pixel 6a to have a headphone jack? Why is Google following the market "buzz" instead of using your own brilliant minds? If you want to include a finger print feature then put the ultra sonic one that doesn't suck like this gen 1 fingerprint reader. I was more than happy with the reader in the back of the phone. I am sure others didn't have a complaint about it either.Now for the good stuff. The screen, the size, speed, software, battery and camera are top notch. Google Pixel is the opposite side of the coin to Apple now because of software optimization and having its own ecosystem with hardware and software. I am very happy being team google/android because Google doesn't tell me what I can or can't do with my device.Camera and the Google processing magic is the primary reason I am with pixel line. Prior phone 4a 5g.
